Once the Pacific export gateway for Costa Rica's banana industry, Golfito now handles only modest traffic since United Fruit's departure in the 1980s. Built in 1939, the port today focuses on agricultural cargo such as palm oil and occasional banana shipments, with vessel calls infrequent. Two berths are available – a general cargo berth at about 7.9 m depth and a banana berth at roughly 7.3 m – alongside bunkering, fresh water and minor repair services. Regular container or international liner services are not confirmed; the adjacent Depósito Libre is a duty-free retail zone, not a freight facility. Shippers needing container capacity use Caldera on the Pacific coast, or Moín/Limón on the Caribbean side.
